Kossuth in His Old Age.

I suppose that most of your readers
would be surprised if told that the famous
Hungarian patriot, Louis Kossuth, is still
alive. But such is the case. He is living
at Turin at the advanced age of IS. I
have recently had two letters from Italy
giving news Of tho venerable statesman.
Mr.. St. L. A. Touhay, our consul at
Turin, writes me that "the general lives
in retirement and receives, only semi-oc-
casionally, visits from some few friends
whom he especially desires to meet. In
deed, owing to his advanced age and con-
sequent infirmitics, he has rcnounccd all
active pursuits of any sort whatsoever. y

Lady of the ndice.

Women have strange fancies. One Of
them, prominent in all the fashionable
follies of New York, is the happy proprie-
tress of q nest Of white mice, in which the
chief interests of her life are centered.
She hangs over them in an abandonment
of alteration, with endearing phrases on
her lips; she holds them lovingly in her
bejeweled hands and allows them to wan
der at their own sweet will over the folds
and frills Of her Partisan gowns.
One evening at seaside resort, little
more than q year ago, there was fine
large audience gathered in the one theatre
the city boasts to witness play given by
one of the strolling companies that mako
spasmodic visits to the watering place.
Plenty Of beauty and wealth gladdened
the eyes of the actors and inspired them.
The play was capitally given, but the
attention of the audience was constantly
diverted from the stage to the stage
boxes, in one of which sat the Lady with
the Mice, as sensational story writers
would call her. The playful gambols of
her strange pets were exciting to behold,
and with their handsome mistress they
were the cynosure of all eyes.-Boston

Sweet Potatoes.

This is the favored time for enlarging
the area in sweet potatoes. The vines
planted now will do as we'll, if not better,
than the slips from the old bed. But
whether cut vines or slips be used, plant
ings in June and July will make cheaper
and better keeping tubers than plant
ings made during the months of April
and May, because they grow off at once
and require much less cultivation. We
used to take pride in setting the earli-
est slips and the largest area early in the
season, until we discovered that some of
our neighbors who were not so smart
made more and better potatoes by plant
ing later.
We consider the sweet potato crop as
possessing great undeveloped possibili'
ties. 1t is about the cheapest hog food
that can be produced in our climate and
certainly one of the most healthful as
we'll as convenient. An important
secret in sweet potato planting is to have
the ground we'll prepared beforehand and
freshly plo,ocd just before setting out the
slips or vines. If not convenient to-
reverse the beds after rain and just
before planting, the patch should be
plowed, or at least boed, just as soon as
practicable. Plants set in sodden,
compact soil do not flourish and grow off
as we'll as if set in a mellow, freshly
plowed soil.
In planting vines We have found it to
pay to prepare the cuttings with some
degree of care, dividing them into pieces
containing from three to FIVE leaves
(accordiug to distance between leaves)
and inserting two to three joints only In
the ground. There will be fewer pota..
toes in hill, but they will be larger and
smoother than when much more OF the
vine is inserted in the ground.-R. j.

Plans for Siberian conyicts.

In q report prepared for the ministerial
commission, which is now considering the
project Of gradually diverting the trans
portation of Russian convicts from Siberia
to the island of SaghaIen and certain dis
tricts in the Trans.C Caucasian and Central
Asia frontier provinces, the inspection Of
the Tiumen-Atchinsk route to Siberia
states during the decade of 1886 21s, ,578
prisoners passed along that highway. OF
this number no less than 2, 1867 died on the
way and 101, 1865 were sent from Atchinsk
to the most remote eastern settlements.
Tho report furnishes no record of the
probably larger number who perished on
The latter part of the journey. It is also
silent as to the cause Of the 1857 deaths
between Tiumen and Atchinsk. The fact
cannot, however, be disguised that the
horrible hardships and sufferings under
which SO large a number OF these unfor-
tunate exiles sink on the way are a stand
ing blot on the penal legislation of Rus
sia.-Clevelend Leader.

Woman,s Work in London.

The first thing that strikes the Ameri-
cans notice most pTminently is the en-
ploymcnt of women In SO many OF tho
public places, where only men are en-
ployed with us. The person who dispenses
drinks in the London drinking places is
almost invariably sharp featured, stony
faced, business looking woman. They arc
very direct and expeditions. They ignore
the general conversation of their custom
ers, but occasionally give forth rafting
nlachine laugh over some ancient joke OF
gildcd British youth. You find them at
all of the hotels. Instead Of being con-
fronted with o smiling, diamond orna-
mented American clerk, you meet O sud
faced, dismal, detected looking young
woman, who, In husky whisper, asks
you to register, and who assigns you a
room, then shuts up under mantle of re-
serve and withdraws to the interior Of tho
Office.
No information Is ever volunteered at
any English hotel. Tho rooms at the hotels
as general thing are uncomfortable for
Americans, because they are rarely If ever
heated. The system of heating is by open
CRATES. This would be well enough If the
CRATES were of any size or had any capacity.
The average CRATE in London hotel room
is about the size Of o two quart basket
md it is always expected to heat room
14x18 on an average. The extreme damp
ness of the atmosphere comes in oil around
the room, so that comfort can be main
tanned only by lowering right over the
crate itself. 1t must be that these rooms
are uncomfortable for the natives them
selves.-T. C. Crawford in New York

one day T made fast at my usual berth at
the foot of Rector street, when Capt. Hope,
Sandy Hook pilot, who was harbormaster
at the time, boarded my vessel and told
me that Swedish brig was lying at pier
8, and that her captain was very anxious
to meet me before he sailed. The Con-
stantinople episode had nearly passed from
my mind in the exciting years that had in
tervened. AS soon as our gang plank was
hauled ashore lady and gentleman came
on board. was standing on the quarter
deck with some custom house officers and
passengers. The lady, whom immedi-
ately recognized, came forward and en-
braced me with much warmth, and the
gentleman followed suit The pleasure
attending this happy meeting was shared
by all who witnessed it. It is needless to
say that the pair were, tho Swedish cap
tain and the lady whom assisted to
escape from Constantinople. That truth
is stranger than fiction is here eX-

so long. When they parted as children
her family went to Moscow, where they
remained several years, and where she
had the advantage of an excellent cduca-
tion and became proficient Hnguist Her
great beauty attracted universal attention.
She was courted by many, but won by
none. Her father received the appoint
ment of consul at Odessa, but he gave up
this place and migrated to Alexandria,
where he became a grain exporter. This
frequently necessitated journeys into the
interior Of Egypt, and his beautiful
daughter was his constant companion.
